You guys are cookin with gas now, I can't understand what the hell you're talking about at this point. Keep it up.

@CrumblingCookie What about ornithine a-ketoglutarate? I'm leaning towards trying this rather than BHB.

@CrumblingCookie said in Reversal of hair loss in Mice with “sugar gel”:

I've been wondering whether BHB or butyrate would be better energy substrates to hair follices rather than dextrose.

@CrumblingCookie Are you aware of this potassium BHB product?

@Mauritio Have you actually gotten all of that to dissolve? I think I would need to prepare two separate solutions in order to get all of those ingredients to dissolve.

NMN is sill pretty expensive if you're buying stuff that's verifiably real.

The dextrose I sometimes spray onto my scalp an hour prior to showering, but I can't handle having it in my hair all day long.

But yeah, I hope you try it out.

Blocked. Easy.

@Mauritio I've been applying bromocriptine to my scalp on an irregular basis for quite awhile and I can't say that it's produced any miracles.

@Mauritio That's an unfortunate conclusion. NMN is quite expensive.

@Mauritio

I've been applying the apple skin powder for almost 5 months. I am continuing to see some temple regrowth, but not enough regrowth around the entirety of the scalp for me to proclaim any miracles as of yet. I will continue with the application until I reach 12 months. This has been the forumula over the past couple months:

15ml vodka
1/16 tsp apple skin powder
1/32 tsp niacinamide

Used over the span of a day or two. I could probably mix into a larger bottle--I would think that the vodka would keep the solution safe fresh for at least a few days. I may add some glucose to it and see how much of it will dissolve. I apply glucose to my scalp on an irregular basis; the problem with it is that it leaves my hair in an unpleasant condition that is stiff and sticky. The problem with applying the apple skin powder is that it discolors the scalp purple and red and also temporarily darkens the hair. I am able to put up with this issue because I live a semi-hermetic lifestyle, but most people will not be able to deal with the discoloration.

Any practical experiments we can run on this subject?
